Legends, fables and fairy tales that travelled well beyond their countries of origin are collected here in a single volume of 101 stories.
The selection favours the tales most people half-remember: stories with a clear shape, a turn near the end and a point that survives retelling. Adaptations keep the language straightforward, so the book can be read aloud to a younger child or handed to an older one to read alone. Taken as a whole, the collection shows how much storytelling tradition different cultures have in common.
Collection details:
• 101 stories gathered from world storytelling traditions.
• Adapted into clear prose suited to a wide age range.
• Each tale complete in itself, with no set reading order.
• One volume covering fables, legends and fairy tales together.
For families reading together, for school and home libraries and for readers returning to stories they first met as children; published by Wilco Publishing House and available at Boipoka.
